SAMUEL L. GREENE, OF BRGOKLYN, NEW YORK.

HAT-PACKING RING.

Application filed October 31, 1913, Serial No. 798,482.

To all 1071 0m it may concern Be it known that I, SAMUEL L. GREENE, a citizen of the United States, and resident of Brooklyn borough, New York, in the county of Kings and State of New York, have invented certain new and useful Improvements in Hat-Packing Rings, of which the following is a specification.

This invention relates to improvements in hat packing rings, such as are employed to pack or stack hats or similar articles and has for its object, to provide a device of the character described which is provided with broadened edges so formed and constructed as to offer yieldable bearing surfaces.

I attain this object by the device illustrated in the accompanying drawing in which- Figure 1, is a sectional view through the ring. Fig. 2, is an enlarged detail showing the folded edge in process of formation. Fig. 3, is a detail showing the folded edge formed.

Referring to the parts, 1, designates the stock of the ring preferably made of pasteboard, two (2) are the outer edges which are formed with a plurality of peripheral Copies of this patent may be obtained for Specification of Letters Patent.

folds 3 and at thereby providing a double fold along each edge; which fold is formed integrally with the stock 1, of the ring.

The construction while it lends lateral stiffness to the ring at the same time gives broadened yieldable bearing surfaces to the same. The said broadened yieldable surfaces prevent the marking of a hat generally resultant from the use of rings otherwise formed.

What I claim as new and desire to secure by Letters Patent; is,

In a hat packing ring a tubular body, external reinforcing rings at each peripheral edge of said body, said rings each consisting of a plurality of folds formed one within the other by bending the edges outwardly with the same circular movement whereby a broad yieldable bearing surface is formed at each peripheral edge of the ring.

Signed at New York in the county of New York and State of New York this 28th day of October A. D. 1913.
